There is no God in the Vedas.
O men of God! Understand this that the Lord doth not reside in Vedas and katebs. 61.
If one commits hypocrisy with closed eyes,
He, who exhibits heresy in closing his eyes, attains the state of blindness.

If one assumes a million tongues,
If one is blessed with millions of tongues, even then he feels them short in number, (while singing the Praises of the Lord)63.
